The Shoppers and the sa1es1adios.
The State street war Is social war, and
when we seek out its causes and analyze
its character we find that it may be ex-
planned quito nationally. Everybody likes
to feel that he is superior to somebody
else, and have an opportunity to show 1t.
This opportunity comes to q man In divers
ways He con lord it over his employees,
or his subordinates; he may patronize his
barber, or the cigar dealer, or the news
boy. But few such opportunities come to
the woman. She daren't 80 it too strong
with her servants for fear they'll leave
her. Besides, good many women don't
keep servants, and among them may be
found many Of those who t1ercely lead the
essallting columns in the dry goods
stores.
It is in State street that every woman
finds an opportunity to feel and enjoy and
give outward evidence of sense of superb
ority to somebody else. The average
shopper, no matter what her stetion or
circumstances, thinks herself several
notches above the saleswoman. She
shows that she thinks so, too, and there
comes the trouble. The clerks, feeling
themselves at least tho equal of those
whom they are serving, resent either
patronizing or peremptory ordering about.
They have pride, too, and it rises up and
makes them bellgerent. The shopper,
trying to maintain the consciousness Of a
superiority which, in fact, does not exist,
and which she isn't quite sure Of herself,
is naturally over suspicious and quick to
complain Of alleged inattention and impu-
dence. The clerk, allowing herself to fall
into the habit Of resenting the airs of her
customers, becomes chronically waspish
and quick tempered, and fails to discrim-
ate between women who do want to i'm
pose on her and those who do not. This,
think, is why we have war on State
street.--Miss Mufit in Chicago Herald.
